iLO2 keyboard issues - Tab and Function keys do not work

We are running IE8 on a Windows 7 Pro workstation used to access a Blade System c7000 OA with f/w ver 3.21. From the OA, we are connecting to the IRC for a BL460c running Server 2008 R2 using iLO2 with f/w ver 2.01.

The IRC comes up fine, however, when a user attempts to log on by entering a username at the Windows logon screen (after CTRL-ALT-DEL) then user attempts to tab to the password text box, the focus jumps to the address bar of the IE window instead of the password text box.

In another situation, during POST, the server will not respond to any attempt to press any Function keys (e.g. F8, F9, F12).

Or you can use the Java Remote Console instead.

The issue is that the Integrated Remote Console is an ActiveX app and Windows would block the app when Protected Mode is enabled in IE.

In iLO2 version 2.15 we signed the ActiveX app (DVC.DLL). Before v2.15 only the CAB containing the DLL was signed. I haven't tested the new signed DVC.dll with Protected Mode enabled to see if it helps on this case.
